The messaging app project and and the first internship experience seem exactly the same?

Also what is your reasoning for putting experience below projects

[quasi pebble]

Oh I just thought to position it like that bc I thought I had less impressive experiences

[quasi pebble]

Yeah they are I just thought I should go into more depth into the project I did there. Should I replace it then?

[mystic cedar]

you have alot of real estate that is going to waste here. You have alot of potential to deep dive into your projects and experience. Really go into what you did and what was the outcome

I would also maybe merge your research section into experience, or replace the coding bootcamp entry with your research position. Its one less entry but itll give you more space to really deep dive into what you did

[quasi pebble]

Do you recommend I use more bullet points for my projects and experiences? I was afraid if I put more then one bullet point then the recruiters might not even bother reading it

[mystic cedar]

its a double edge sword, you want more info but not irrelevant info

you want to make it as interesting as possible, give statistics/numbers that the recruiter can look at

[quasi pebble]

I understand. Do you think the research section is necessarily a bad thing? I thought it would hopefully make me stand out

[mystic cedar]

stuff like "i address software issues" is super vague

or like "developed a localization system", what do you mean? what specifically did you do? 95% better accuracy compared to what?

stuff like that

also use better action verbs

developed is boring

[quasi pebble]

Can you give me an example? Thanks btw this is really helpful

[mystic cedar]

"Spearheaded the development of..."

"Conceptualized and implemented"

search up online good action verbs or feed it into chatgpt and ask it to create new action verbs

Good luck!

[quasi pebble]

Awesome man. Thank you.

So should I replace the localization and sms messaging demo with something else?

Also should I swap my experiences and projects section?

And the research section. Is that a should remove as well?

[summer silo]

experience above projects

research above projects

technical skills at bottom

u could try to optimize whitespace i.e. don’t have bullets that have one word on the second line.

don’t say “I addressed” all other bullets are just action so change it to “Addressed”
